Compassion in World Farming UK

Please join @ChrisGPackham and call on @BrittanyFerries to stop live exports ➡️ bit.ly/45m7BRZ #BanLiveExports

This World Cage-Free Day, farmers stood alongside us to call on the @EU_Commission to phase out cages for farmed animals. Together, we launched a 190‑day countdown to Autumn - when the Commission has again promised to start delivering proposals to ban cages. #EndTheCageAge

At the weekend, @ChrisGPackham joined @philip_ciwf at the @oxfordlitfest to discuss the urgent need to protect the natural world. If you weren't able to join us, you can watch the recording here: bit.ly/4bLqtLM

After decades of campaigning, we are so close to seeing a ban on cruel cages for laying hens in the UK! To demonstrate the public's strong support for the Government’s proposal to #EndTheCageAge, we hand delivered a powerful artwork. ciwf.org.uk/news/draw-the-…

Intensive farming fuels the climate crisis, which in turn threatens our ability to grow and produce food. We need to stop this doom loop and farm in harmony with nature. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Many meat & dairy labels can be very misleading, with idyllic images of farmyard animals in picturesque fields. What often lies behind these cheerful scenes is shocking. @philip_ciwf calls for honest labelling. ⬇️ philiplymbery.com/what-food-labe…

“Supporting A Dairy Story feels especially fitting for us, because it shines a light on farmers who are once again challenging the status quo." Anthony Field, Head of our UK office comments on new film about a farm that keeps calves with their mothers. dng24.co.uk/farm-welfare-o…

The UK Government must act now: #EndTheCageAge for hens without delay. @DefraGovUK

@CartoonessToo @BrittanyFerries The calves are unweaned, and they can't be fed while they're on trucks (they're not unloaded on the ferry). They endure an 18 hour + sea crossing from Ireland to France, all of this time without food. There's more info here, but happy to answer questions: ciwf.org.uk/news/brittany-…

@ciwf @BrittanyFerries We need more info! I've asked before: why is this bad? First I've seen that the animals are starving. Because they were taken from mothers? Where shipped from & to? This is a half-asssed article!

UPDATE: Cruelty is bad for business & @BrittanyFerries knows it. The ferry company doesn’t want its passengers to know that they’re travelling with unfed, unweaned calves. They’ve hidden thousands of comments on socials. Keep tagging them to make it clear: calves aren’t cargo!

"Call for renewed focus on anniversary of of animal welfare law" writes @ScottishLegal News 39 animal protection organisations have come together to call for change in Scotland. Led by The Animal Law Foundation and the @LeagueACS, a joint letter to the Scottish Government urges action to put animals back at the heart of the Animal Health and Welfare Act. Supported by groups including @onekindtweet, @ciwf, @BornFreeFDN and the @ScottishSPCA, the message is clear: the law is not working as it should. 20 years on from the enactment Animal Health and Welfare Act 2006, weaknesses in its interpretation and enforcement mean animals are paying the price. It’s time for a reset. #AnimalLaw #AnimalProtection #AWA20 #AnimalWelfareAct

Together, we are an ocean that can create a wave of positive change. 🌊💪 Our Patron @ChrisGPackham speaking at @oxfordlitfest. @philip_ciwf

@Aprilhouse23 @BrittanyFerries Live exports were banned from Britain in 2024! Sadly however the trade is still legal from Ireland, which is where Britany Ferries is exporting calves from.

@ciwf @BrittanyFerries Fair play to Boris Johnson, well, Carrie actually - was just s out to outlaw this but got the boot and then Rishi Sunak killed this Bill. I hope he rots,

@Fortyplus4 @BrittanyFerries It is from Britain, Brittany Ferries are exporting calves from Ireland to France.

@ciwf @BrittanyFerries I've obviously missed something ..... I thought live export was banned.

@Tinebobagain @BrittanyFerries Live exports are banned from Britain, but still legal from Ireland, which is where Brittany Ferries is exporting calves from.

@ciwf @BrittanyFerries I thought this was banned when we left the EU?

Today we’ve had an inspiring day at @oxfordlitfest with @ChrisGPackham, @isabella_tree, Michael Morpurgo and @philip_ciwf - all about the importance of valuing the natural world. We’ll be sharing recordings from all of the events soon - watch this space.

"When we're standing in the supermarket isle, we're not in a position to make an informed choice about what we are buying." @ChrisGPackham calls for clear labelling so everyone has the truth they need to make ethical food choices. @oxfordlitfest @philip_ciwf

"We should care [about nature] because it is us, were part of it... It's our world, and we've got to look after it." Michael Morpurgo, author and @farmersforaweek, co-founder speaking at @oxfordlitfest.

"If we carry on plundering nature as we are doing, future generations will simply not be able to feed ourselves... but nature will bouce back if you let it, that's the miricle." @isabella_tree at @oxfordlitfest. @philip_ciwf
